	)

inline

Browse OPC server address space with one starting node asnchonously.

The Browse Service is used by a client to navigate through the Address Space by passing a starting Node and browse filters. The server returns the list of referenced nodes matching the filter criteria.

The Browse Service takes a list of starting Nodes and returns a list of connected Nodes for each starting Node. Nevertheless, most clients will only pass one starting Node for the main purpose of building a tree hierarchy. Since the OPC UA Address Space can be a full-meshed network and is not limited to a pure hierarchy, the capability to pass in a list of starting Nodes is mainly used to browse metadata like the Properties of a list of Variables. The client SDK provides different browse methods, one for a single starting Node and one for a list of starting Nodes.

This simplified browse method is used for a single starting node.

Parameters

nodeToBrowse	The node to browse.
callback	The callback to use when the async call completes.
userData	The user data that is passed to the callback.

This method returns only forward hierarchial references.

Returns: An object which must be passed to the EndBrowse method.

IAsyncResult UnifiedAutomation.UaClient.Session.BeginBrowse	(	NodeId	nodeToBrowse,
		BrowseContext	browseContext,
		AsyncCallback	callback,
		Object	userData
	)

inline

This is an overloaded function. See BeginBrowse for more details.

Parameters

nodeToBrowse	The node to browse.
browseContext	The browse context.
callback	The callback to use when the async call completes.
userData	The user data that is passed to the callback.

Returns: An object which must be passed to the EndBrowse method.

IAsyncResult UnifiedAutomation.UaClient.Session.BeginBrowse	(	NodeId	nodeToBrowse,
		BrowseContext	browseContext,
		RequestSettings	settings,
		AsyncCallback	callback,
		object	userData
	)

inline

This is an overloaded function. See BeginBrowse for more details.

Parameters

nodeToBrowse	The node to browse.
browseContext	The browse context.
settings	The general settings for the request. If null, the default settings from the property DefaultRequestSettings are used.
callback	The callback to use when the async call completes.
userData	The user data that is passed to the callback.

Returns: An object which must be passed to the EndBrowse method.

IAsyncResult UnifiedAutomation.UaClient.Session.BeginBrowseList	(	List< BrowseDescription >	nodesToBrowse,

Since the OPC UA Address Space can be a full-meshed network and is not limited to a pure hierarchy, the capability to pass in a list of starting Nodes is mainly used to browse metadata like the Properties of a list of Variables. The client SDK provides different browse methods, one for a single starting Node and one for a list of starting Nodes.

This browse method is used for a list of starting nodes.

Parameters

nodesToBrowse	The nodes to browse.
callback	The callback to use when the async call completes.
userData	The user data that is passed to the callback.

Returns: An object which must be passed to the EndBrowseList method.

		RequestSettings	settings,
		AsyncCallback	callback,
		object	userData
	)

inline

Reads values and attributes asynchronously from OPC server.

The Read Service is used to read one or more attributes of one or more nodes. It allows also reading subsets or single elements of array values and to define a valid age of values to be returned to reduce the need for device reads. Like most other services, the read is optimized for bulk read operations and not for reading single Attribute values. Typically all Node Attributes are readable. For the Value Attribute the Read rights are indicated by the AccessLevel and UserAccessLevel Attribute of the Variable.

Parameters

nodesToRead	List of nodes and attributes to read.
maxAge	The maximum age for any value.
timestampsToReturn	OPC UA defines two timestamps, the source and the server timestamp. This parameter allows the client to define which timestamps the server should return with the value. The source timestamp is only available for Value Attributes. The source timestamp is used to reflect the timestamp that was applied to a Variable value by the data source. It should indicate the last change of the value or status code. The source timestamp must be always generated by the same physical clock. This timestamp type was added for OPC UA to cover the use case to get the timestamp of the last value change which is different than the server timestamp definition. The server timestamp is used to reflect the time that the server received a Variable value or knew it to be accurate if the changes are reported by exception and the connection to the data source is operating. This is the behavior expected by Classic OPC Possible values are TimestampsToReturn.Source TimestampsToReturn.Server TimestampsToReturn.Both
settings	The general settings for the request. If null, the default settings from the property DefaultRequestSettings are used.
callback	The callback to use when the async call completes.
userData	The user data that is passed to the callback.

Returns: An object which must be passed to the EndRead() method.

		out byte[]	continuationPoint
	)

inline

Browse OPC server address space with one starting node.

The Browse Service is used by a client to navigate through the Address Space by passing a starting Node and browse filters. The server returns the list of referenced nodes matching the filter criteria.

The Browse Service takes a list of starting Nodes and returns a list of connected Nodes for each starting Node. Nevertheless, most clients will only pass one starting Node for the main purpose of building a tree hierarchy. Since the OPC UA Address Space can be a full-meshed network and is not limited to a pure hierarchy, the capability to pass in a list of starting Nodes is mainly used to browse metadata like the Properties of a list of Variables. The client SDK provides different browse methods, one for a single starting Node and one for a list of starting Nodes.

This simplified browse method is used for a single starting node.

Parameters

nodeToBrowse	NodeId of the starting Node
browseContext	Filter settings for the browse call. See BrowseContext for more details.
settings	The general settings for the request. If null, the default settings from the property DefaultRequestSettings are used.
continuationPoint	out: A continuation point is returned when the server was not able to deliver all results in the Browse response. The limitation can be set by the client in the request or by the server during Browse processing. The continuation point can be passed to browseNext to get the remaining results.

Returns: List of references and target Node information for the Nodes passing the filter criteria set in the request.

List<DataValue> UnifiedAutomation.UaClient.Session.Read	(	IList< ReadValueId >	nodesToRead,
		uint	maxAge,
		TimestampsToReturn	timestampsToReturn,
		RequestSettings	settings
	)

inline

Reads attribute values synchronous from OPC server.

The Read Service is used to read one or more attributes of one or more nodes. It allows also reading subsets or single elements of array values and to define a valid age of values to be returned to reduce the need for device reads. Like most other services, the read is optimized for bulk read operations and not for reading single Attribute values. Typically, all Node Attributes are readable. For the Value Attribute, the Read rights are indicated by the AccessLevel and UserAccessLevel Attribute of the Variable.

Parameters

nodesToRead	List of nodes and attributes to read.
maxAge	The maximum age of the value to be read in milliseconds. This parameter allows clients to reduce the communication between server and data source by allowing the server to return a cached value that is not older than the defined time period. Setting a value of 0 forces the server to obtain the current value. This is similar to a device read in Classic OPC.
timestampsToReturn	OPC UA defines two timestamps, the source and the server timestamp. This parameter allows the client to define which timestamps the server should return with the value. The source timestamp is only available for Value Attributes. The source timestamp is used to reflect the timestamp that was applied to a Variable value by the data source. It should indicate the last change of the value or status code. The source timestamp must be always generated by the same physical clock. This timestamp type was added for OPC UA to cover the use case to get the timestamp of the last value change which is different than the server timestamp definition. The server timestamp is used to reflect the time that the server received a Variable value or knew it to be accurate if the changes are reported by exception and the connection to the data source is operating. This is the behavior expected by Classic OPC Possible values are TimestampsToReturn.Source TimestampsToReturn.Server TimestampsToReturn.Both
settings	The general settings for the request. If null, the default settings from the property DefaultRequestSettings are used.

Returns: List of read results.

Returns

List<BrowsePathResult> UnifiedAutomation.UaClient.Session.TranslateBrowsePath ( IList< BrowsePath > pathsToTranslate )

inline

Translate a browse path to a NodeId.

This Service is used to access components of an Object based on the knowledge about the ObjectType. Since the NodeId of a Node is needed to access information provided by the Node like subscribing for Variable Value changes or to call a Method, it is necessary to know the NodeIds of components of Objects. Since OPC UA allows programming software components with built-in knowledge of ObjectTypes, UA needs to provide a mechanism to return the NodeIds for components of an Object instance based on the knowledge about the ObjectType. This mechanism is built on the requirement that the BrowseNames of components in the instance must be the same like BrowseNames of components in the type.

Parameters

pathsToTranslate The list of browse paths for which NodeIds are requested
